An essay in futility, too long to read :)

A funny species, homo sapiens

And what it tells me is that if you want your opinion to make a difference you need a lot more than a 'representative democracy'

You need a real one

A constant referendum. the very thing all politicians do their best to avoid.

See how it unites them?

No matter ideologies and beliefs, in a homogeneous mass of 'elite' decisions

It also scares you, in its implications. That you might not get what you want.

Such a hierarchical species, joined through egos and a game of inequality.

Don't know what to say about this one

Methane isotopes

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/08/250816113528.htm

While this makes sense

"This isotope exchange we found changes the fingerprint of methane generated by acetate and methanol consuming methanogens vs. that typically assumed. Given this, it might be that we have underestimated the contribution of the acetate-consuming microbes, and they might be even more dominant than we have thought"

This doesn't

"There are an enormous number of isotopic systems associated with biology and biochemistry that are studied in the environment; I hope we can start looking at them in the way molecular biologists now are looking at these problems in people and other organisms -- by controlling gene expression and looking at how the stable isotopes respond."

Not as some 'solution' to global warming

But there is one thing joining both

their beliefs in new tech and geoengineerings. And kissing oil, gas and other staus quo defenders interests in their ass.

After all, from where I stand that was the whole thing about both failed "cop's" and plastic treaties.

Making sure of no one rocking our boat. Keeping business as usual and the game spotless.
